Practice Question

Does your past self respond positively to your willingness to listen?

• If yes, continue to dialogue with your past self for as long as it feels helpful. Experiment with going back to Practice 4: Healing Pain From the Past if your past self seems more open to receiving compassion from you now.
• If your past self says anything self-critical or reacts negatively to your kindness, go to Practice 6: When Compassion Is Difficult.
